The governments’ approach towards Baha’ism can be divided into two parts before and after the revolution.

      1) The kingdom regime which was the mere instrument of the west assigned sensitive positions in the government to the Baha’is, but it didn’t recognized Baha’ism officially because of hiding its support (The emergence and falling Pahlavi kingdom, vol. 1, p. 377)

      2) After the victory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the public hate against the deviant cut of Baha’ism continued. Baha’ism behavior which was contrary to the national and religious rudiments of the Islamic Iran caused for the deviant cult of Baha’ism not to be recognized officially in the Iranian constitution. (The constitution, p. 34)

     Consequently, the result of Baha’ism’s spying for the west ended in its dissolving in 1362.

Of course, according to 14 the principle of the Iranian constitution, this issue doesn’t mean the violation of Baha’is rights (Ibid, p. 35)
